To truly simulate the Powerball first you must simulate the universe.

lotteries are basically the james randi test it's not for some average schlub to play every week and expect to eventually hit it big in X years, though I guess that still happens sometimes

i'm guessing 99% of people who win the lottery are just randomly lucky but I know of at least one case where the person seemingly won on purpose after working at it for several months

looks like ol mr. craps finally made peace with his shithole name. i for one welcome the era of the new PBS style mr. craps. cant wait to see what is in store for '16!! my guess is that its a lot like the actual PBS newshour, which is fine, its just kind of an acquired taste for old lesbians and the bernie set. no big. wish him the best good luck and gently caress you in 2000+16 you stupid piece of poo poo!

Is it not hilarious how true this is and how every single shenanigan out there is meaningless in the face of random possibility? Like that 1M win I had within three years... makes no sense in light of the odds but it happened and here we are.
That's what I love about simulators like this... they're driven by pure random selection the same way most lotteries are and yet people still win all the time while these math projectors say 'nu uh, impossible'.
Chaos, man... pure chaos.

i don't think you quite understand probability

haha the odds of winning Powerball and becoming a billionaire is extremely long shot, we get it. But the odds is *much* better than the odds of becoming a billionare through hard work.
